2016 Southwest Popular/American
Culture Association Conference
Welcome
Bienvenidos a Albuquerque!
Welcome to the 37th Annual Southwest Popular/American Culture Association Conference—we
are so pleased that you have joined us. We look forward to sharing the week with the diverse
group of scholars who join us here in Albuquerque this year.
In addition to the full range of presentations and sessions taking place this week, we would like
to highlight some opportunities for participants in the 2016 conference. We are in the second
year of the Michael K. Schoenecke Leadership Institute, named in honor of one of the founders
of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association. The program serves as an
opportunity for individuals interested in learning about the history of the SWPACA organization,
its leadership, and the role the organization plays in promoting the study of popular/American
culture. The Institute trains individuals in organizational responsibilities to prepare them for
future leadership roles, and Institute Fellows shadow current leadership and contribute to
organizational events and projects. Last year, Kathleen Lacey was our inaugural Institute
Fellow, and the 2016 Fellows are Corinne Knight and Karina Vado. We will be introducing
Corinne and Karina at several of our events, including the graduate student breakfast on
Thursday morning, the Fire and Ice Reception on Thursday evening, and the Peter C. Rollins
Book Awards and Tribute / Graduate Student Awards on Friday night. I know you will want to
meet Corinne and Karina in person at one of these events or at the registration table throughout
the week.
On Wednesday, February 10, we are offering two SWPACA pre-conference workshops. These
two-and-a-half-hour sessions provide opportunities for in-depth instruction and discussion on
publishing and creation of a makerspace. We are excited about this opportunity for participants
to work in small groups with experts in the field. Professional development sessions are available
to all participants on Thursday and Friday and include panels on publishing, the job search, and
using conference technology, a session focusing on live tweeting and our new conference app.
On the social end of the spectrum, we invite you to participate in our Wednesday evening Dinearound, the Fire and Ice Reception on Thursday night, and the Rollins Book Awards and
Tribute/Graduate Student Awards ceremony, Friday night at 6:30 in Grand Pavilion VI.
We are also pleased to announce the third issue of Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of
Popular Culture and Pedagogy, a special issue on popular culture and pedagogy, featuring
articles focusing on popular culture in writing courses, using Harry Potter in the classroom, using
Lady Gaga to teach sociological theory, and more. Stop by the registration table and meet the
editors, or visit our website at JournalDialogue.org.
We would like to recognize the continued support and contributions of our Area Chairs; these
individuals are an indication of the strength of this organization, and we commend them once
more on a job well done. Special thanks as well to members of the Executive Team for their
year-round efforts to plan and execute our annual meeting. We also acknowledge the individuals
who judged the graduate student awards; thank you for your time and interest in recognizing the
next generation of popular culture scholars. Finally, thank you to the members of the Hyatt
Regency team who assist us in welcoming you to our 37th meeting of the Southwest
Popular/American Culture Association.

Welcome
On a more personal note, we would like to honor the memory of the Southwest/Texas PCA/ACA
co-founder, Peter Rollins, who passed away in March of 2015. Peter was a man of extraordinary
energy and vision, and because of his tireless efforts, this organization continues to nurture
popular culture scholars regionally, nationally, and abroad. We will be recognizing Peter’s
accomplishments throughout the week, specifically on Friday night, at the Rollins Awards and
Tribute event. Michael K. Schoenecke, with whom Peter founded the Southwest/Texas
PCA/ACA 37 years ago, will be in attendance this year as our honored guest. As you pass him in
the hallways, take a moment to share your favorite Peter C. story.
Enjoy your time here this week. Stop by the registration table and introduce yourselves to the
Executive Team; share your ideas for the organization and areas. We look forward to spending
the week with you.

Remembering
Peter C. Rollins
From Mike Schoenecke
Co-Founder and Past Executive Director of the Southwest/Texas PCA/ACA
In Memory of Peter C. Rollins, SW/TX PCA/ACA Co-founder, 1942-2015
Peter Rollins: Mentor, Colleague, and Friend
The phone rang at our house, and Peter said, “Mike, this is Peter. I just put twelve books in your
mailbox. Come and get them and have them read and meet with me in my office by next week.”
This arrangement occurred four to five times during the preparation to write my dissertation.
Sometimes I would be in a quandary and could not seem to get the ideas to come and the words
to flow. I would call Peter, and he would say, “Ask Deb to make a pecan pie and ice cream and
coffee, and we will be there about 6:30 p.m. at your place.” A couple of times we would work in
the dining room until 10:00 p.m. or 11:00 p.m. and finish working only to find Debby and Susan
asleep in the living room. Many know of Peter’s numerous accomplishments and contributions to
academe and to the SWPCA and the PCA/ACA but may not know Peter’s generous capacity to
mentor young academics both in completing their graduate work and entering the academic
world as scholars. There were times at conferences when Peter would give fifty dollars to each of
his attending graduate students for meals knowing we did not have the money to eat out. About
two days prior to my oral exam for the Ph.D., Peter told me he had a question that he would give
me that I could not answer. We went into the oral exam with the other committee members, and
after they had finished the first round of questions, Peter asked the unanswerable query. It was
about a book written in the 1880’s, and as Peter indicated, I could not answer it. So, Peter fell to
asking the committee members who also could not answer the question, not having heard of the
book as well. Then Peter regaled us with the answer, all the while giving me a chance to relax
and catch my breath a moment before the next round of questions.
Beginning as a student of Peter’s, we became friends and colleagues, and I knew he had taken
me under his tutelage and generously promoted me in my career. He treated me as a colleague
and taught me how a professional conducts himself. Peter asked me to help him put together the
first SW/Texas PCA meeting in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and it was my job to recruit papers and
presenters by mailing out letters to authors of articles dealing with popular culture. I mailed three
hundred letters. Our first meeting had 129 attendees/ presenters. We continued working together
to run the SW/Texas PCA until I became executive director of the PCA/ACA. We built
attendance to the SW/Texas PCA to around 1500. Our growth really accelerated when we moved
the meeting to Albuquerque, New Mexico where it still enjoys great success. His work ethic was legendary. We knew as graduate students that Peter would be in his office by
as early as 4:00 a.m., working to produce books, articles and documentary films as well as
working with graduate students. He passed on this work ethic to me. I still remember him telling
me at the OSU Student Union before class that “sometimes you have to eat your brussel
sprouts,” meaning that sometimes work and the mundane has to come first. I passed this work
ethic on to my daughters.
Peter, my mentor, my colleague, my friend, you are missed.

Peter C. Rollins
Book Award
Through the Peter C. Rollins Book Award, the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association
(SWPACA) annually recognizes contributions to the study of popular and/or American culture
and, in particular, works analyzing cultural and historical representations in film, television, and/or
other visual media. Volumes receiving this award are distinguished by their methodology and
research; monographs, reference works, and anthologies published within the last two calendar
years are all eligible.
The Southwest Popular/American Culture Association is one of the
leading academic associations dedicated to the study of popular and
American culture; our annual meeting, at which each year’s winner is
honored, is one of the largest such meetings in the world. The late Dr.
Peter C. Rollins, for whom the award is named, was one of the
association’s founders and most valued members; in addition, he was
a highly-regarded and well-known scholar of popular and American
culture. Over a period of thirty years, he helped both junior and senior
scholars as Associate Editor of The Journal of Popular Culture and
The Journal of American Culture, and as Editor-in-Chief of Film &
History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies
(www.filmhistory.org). In addition, Dr. Rollins’ book publications
distinguished him among scholars. For example, his final publication
America Reflected: Language, Satire, Film, and the National Mind
Dr. Peter C. Rollins
(New Academia, 2010) provides the reader with a seasoned guide
exploring the vagaries of American popular culture. Further, he edited
or co-edited a number of notable volumes, such as The Columbia Companion to American History
and Film (Columbia UP, 2004) and Why We Fought: America’s Wars in Film and History (UP of
Kentucky, 2008). In his edited volumes, Dr. Rollins showcased the work of many individuals,
highlighting his dedication to expanding the scholarly study of film and television.
Starting in 2013, the Rollins Book Award judging committee determined that the breadth and
quality of scholarship available for consideration necessitated recognition of volumes in three
separate catgeories: Film/TV, Popular Culture, and the judging committee’s choice of
specialized area of study, based on current trends in popular and American culture studies.
The 2016 Peter C. Rollins Award recipient(s) will be annouced on Friday, February 12,
2016 during the Awards Ceremony, 6:30 – 8:00 pm.
Special thanks go to the 2015 Rollins Book Award Judging Committee: Hugh Foley, Alison
Macor, and Rob Weiner.

1000 Pre-Con Workshop: From Concept to Book with Cynthia Miller and
Stephen Ryan
Wed, 02/10/2016 - 8:30am - 11:00am, Enchantment A
Panel Chair: Cynthia Miller
Wondering how to turn that terrific idea, conference paper, or article into a book-length
publication? This workshop, conducted by author and editor Cynthia Miller and Stephen Ryan,
Senior Editor for Rowman & Littlefield, will focus on practical suggestions for moving from
“I’ve got a great idea,” to a book proposal, and beyond. We’ll talk about how to recognize the
difference between an idea suited to a chapter and one that will carry a whole volume, how to
add breadth and dimension to existing article-length work, and the nuts-and-bolts of how to draft
a proposal to submit to a publisher. Feel free to bring material from current projects to discuss
and work on!

specific to their locale. A list of resources will be provided to participants interested in further
investigation.

The counterculture of the ‘60’s changed the cultural hegemony. As a result, the values, ideals,
and behavior of the ‘60’s became more of the norm of the culture today. To prove this
hypothesis, I will emphasize how the women of the Grateful Dead family and the gestalt of the
era, revitalized the role of women and ushered in third-wave feminism. My research method
includes reporting stories culled from interviews with women affiliated with and employed by
the Grateful Dead and showing how the essence of their lives became the new feminism and the
cultural hegemony of our time.

1090 Zombie Culture 1: Roundtable: Sexual Desire’s Suppression by the
Presence of Zombies?
Panel Chair: Betty Dorr
Betty Dorr, Fort Lewis College
Robert Weiner, Texas Tech University
When the most basic of human needs are examined during film and television portrayals of a
zombie apocalypse, we find a huge gap. During the apocalypse, acquiring the most basic of
Maslow’s physiological needs can be difficult. Having predictable access to food, water, warmth,
and shelter is obviously challenging. The purpose of this examination is to consider the
physiological necessity of sex. In many films and television series targeting the zombie trope,
caring sexual encounters between two survivors is rare. Committed relationships between two
people are suggested, and the relationship may be foundational to the storyline; however,
acknowledged, consensual sexual activities between protagonists are exceptionally rare, even
when the storyline may encompass months or years. Only “The Walking Dead” (see Lori/Rick;
Maggie/Glen; Rosita/Abraham), “Z Nation” (Serena/Murphy) and “Fido” (Helen/Bill) have
indicated that sexual needs are not extinguished by the presence of zombie threats. Romantic
suggestions and flirtations are common in the genre (“The Walking Dead”; “Resident Evil:
Extinction”; “Resident Evil: Afterlife”; Warm Bodies”; “Zombieland”; “Z Nation”); however,
acknowledged, consensual sexual activity among survivors are extremely rare, which is
surprising given the Mature and R ratings. A lack of sexual activity contradicts what we would
expect when people are confronted with indicators of their mortality; the drive to reproduce
should be pronounced. There are other gaps in the genre. There is a dearth of reference to
masturbation as a means of need satisfaction, and confirmed, consensual sexual encounters
among GLBT are nonexistent. Another important absence is the trans survivor in the
contemporary, post-apocalyptic fictional universe. These glaring absences call for discussion and
exploration.

Panel Chair: Robert Weiner, Texas Tech University

Karen Renner, Northern Arizona University
Steffen Hantke, Sogang University
From public concerns about satanic abuse in the 1980s to dire warnings about serial killers and
the graphic imagery in popular music blamed for school shootings in the 1990s, horror in the
public realm has always operated in dangerous proximity to the sweep of moral panics. Whether
this association between horror in film and other popular media and moral panic is spurious or
justified, and how the politics of this conjunction has played out to the detriment or benefit of
horror—these are the questions mulled over by the panelists on this roundtable.

1116 Pedagogy and Popular Culture 3: Forum on Interdisciplinary Learning
with Science Fiction and Fantasy
Panel Chair: Kurt Depner, New Mexico State University-Doña Ana
Paul Binkley, Colorado State University
Kelsey Hatley, Colorado State University
Paul Binkley will discuss sci-fi’s value as an interdisciplinary learning tool between the language
arts and the sciences, drawing from Czerneda (1999), Gee (2004), and his own research. Paul
will invite the audience to participate in “The Archive at the End of the World”: an example
lesson that imagines an apocalypse extrapolated from researched issues and the need to preserve
humanity’s legacy. In the face of this “imminent” apocalypse, attendees will collaborate and
debate with one another to settle on which 10 texts to preserve. This activity will explore issues
of marginalization, taste, and interdisciplinary learning.
Kelsey Hatley will talk about how texts like the Harry Potter series (Rowling), Carry
On (Rowell), and fanfiction can be used to support interdisciplinary study between the language
arts and social studies. Drawing on the work of Morell (2008), this presentation will show how
these texts can be seen through a critical literacy lens to examine issues of race, gender, and
sexuality. This kind of framework can help students read and produce counter-texts within
problematic systems, while still preserving and empowering their passions. The audience will be
producing flash fanfiction pieces in response to a social issue.
The panel will end with Q&A and both presenters leading a discussion on the roadblocks that
prevent genres like science fiction and fantasy from being embraced in public education. The
presenters will also provide copies of the materials used in their lessons.

Games, whether competitive or collaborative, provide an opportunity for players to experience
decision-making as well as participate in the leader-follower dyad. However, these experiences
in leadership are scripted, programmed into the very structures that rule the game. As such, there
are inherent affordances which privilege certain roles and thus certain players. As we continue to
look toward games for insight into how we think, learn, and work, it is important that we
understand how these inherent structures inform and impact the ways in which we collaborate.
How do these procedural rhetorics inform leadership and our perception of the leader-follower
dyad? We propose a roundtable that discusses the models that promote or discourage decisionmaking in play and the ways in which leadership has influenced the online and offline
experiences of gamers.

In its eleven years on the air, the television show “Supernatural” has been a pioneer in the use of
music, specifically of the classic rock genre as well as period music of multiple genres.
Supernatural has used music in myriad ways, both typically and atypically, to move or expound
the narrative, to evoke emotion, to cue the viewer, and to brand the show. For example, “Carry
On Wayward Son” by Kansas is, at least for fans of the show, now synonymous with the
Winchesters. And, among many others, we see in Season 5’s “Swan Song” and, more recently,
Season 11’s “Baby,” how integral music is to the narrative structures of the series. Indeed,
throughout the show’s run, the use of famous songs, alongside original music composed by the
show’s two musical directors, Jay Gruska and Christopher Lennertz, has created Supernatural’s
signature look and sound. From the well-timed video/music edits on “The Roads So Far” to
musical references within the dialogue and the use of captioning to act as inner monologue,
“Supernatural” has crafted a rich visual (sub)text that enhances the already multi-layered
episodes. Additionally, the music in the show has made its way off the screen and onto the
convention stage in a variety of ways. Cast members have performed for fans in many cities,
going so far as to perform the very songs used in the show’s episodes. At a recent convention,
Jensen Ackles performed the Lynyrd Skynyrd song “Simple Man,” a song used poignantly in a
fifth season episode. Louden Swain, led by “Supernatural” cast member Rob Benedict, performs
at most “Supernatural” conventions and often will feature Ackles, Mark Sheppard, and others
performing with them. This roundtable will address these topics as well as others of interest to
the audience. We encourage attendees to come with questions and favorite musical moments to
add to our discussion.

Panel Chair: Melvin Backstrom

Melvin Backstrom, McGill University
The five-year long involvement of the biologist, keyboardist, composer, and musicologist Ned
Lagin with the Grateful Dead from 1970 to 1975 is undoubtedly one of the more unexplored and
unknown sides of the band’s history. Although numerous details have come to light over the last
15 years since Lagin broke his then twenty-five year silence speaking about his relationship with
the Dead, many others have yet to be explored by scholars of the band. This round-table will
bring together three individuals with extensive knowledge of the Dead-Lagin association for a
first-ever discussion of the musical, social, and historical significance of their relations: David
Gans, Jesse Jarnow and Melvin Backstrom. David Gans is a musician, journalist and radio
producer who has interviewed Lagin several times since their first meeting in 1991. The revised
edition of “Conversations With the Dead” (Da Capo, 2002) includes an in-depth conversation in
which Lagin speaks in detail about his experiences with the Dead. Jesse Jarnow interviewed
Lagin for segments of his book “Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America,” to be published
in February 2016, focusing on how Lagin helped contribute to the Dead’s creative dialogue in
both musical and extra-musical ways that (among other effects) kept the Dead connected to the
emerging technological counterculture. And Melvin Backstrom interviewed Lagin for his PhD
dissertation, “The Grateful Dead and Their World: Popular Music and the Avant-Garde in the
San Francisco Bay Area, 1965-1975,” which features a chapter focused on Lagin and his major
compositional work, “Seastones.” Melvin also presented a paper on the Lagin-Dead relationship
and “Seastones” at the annual meeting of the American Musicological Society in November of
2015.

Panel Chair: Kurt Depner and Tamy Burnett
Kurt Depner, New Mexico State University-Doña Ana
Tamy Burnett, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
First in this two-part session, Kurt Depner will present “Teaching Teachers to Tweet Terrifically:
A Conference Twitter Primer.” The academic conference experience is often one of ecstatic
frustration, with so many panels occurring simultaneously that it’s difficult to choose what to
attend. But Twitter may offer us some solutions to this problem, allowing for multitasking,
virtual attendance, and corroboration about the efficacy of our attendance. Kurt will focus on
how to use Twitter at academic conferences, giving attendees a hands-on way of making their
conference experiences a more fulfilling one and, at the same time, allow our parent institutions
to know what we are getting out our experience, in the most immediate way possible. NOTE:
Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops, tablets, or smart phones to this session and be
ready to “tweet” away, giving the “twitterverse” a good, hard dose of academic rigor.
Second, Tamy Burnett will present “SWPACA Conference App 101.” This presentation will
introduce SWPACA’s new conference app, including an overview of navigating the app’s
features, building a customized schedule, using the app to take notes during presentations or to
network with other conference attendees, and more. Attendees are encouraged to bring a
smartphone, tablet, or laptop to explore the app and try out various features during the session.
NOTE: Attendees are encouraged to download the SWPACA 2016 guide in the Guidebook app
prior to the session, so they will be ready to follow along during the primer.

2084 Roundtable: “Go Set a Watchman”
Thu, 02/11/2016 - 1:15pm - 2:45pm, Enchantment A
Panel Chair: Pat Tyrer, West Texas A&M University
When the supposed “sequel” to Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Go Set a Watchman,”
was published July 15, 2015 by Rupert Murdock’s publishing company, Harper Collins, it
arrived on book sellers’ shelves amid perhaps the greatest literary controversy in more than 100
years. Joe Nocera of “The New York Times” (July 24, 2015) noted that, “The Ur-fact about
Harper Lee is that after publishing her beloved novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” in 1960, she not
only never published another book; for most of that time she insisted she never would.”
Following the death of Lee’s sister, Alice, her literary protector, her new caretaker, Tonja Carter,
who had worked in Alice Lee’s law office, claimed to have found the novel shortly before
Alice’s death and brought the manuscript to Harper Collins. This discussion group will examine
the various controversies surrounding the publication. Is it a sequel or a first draft of “To Kill a
Mockingbird”? Was it recently found or was Carter waiting for access after Alice’s death? Did
Lee, an “89-year old, frail, hearing-and sight-impaired stroke victim living in a nursing home”
(Nocera) give her consent? And, perhaps most importantly for literary aficionados, is “Go Set a
Watchman” any good?

2100 Eclectica 4: Roundtable: Filling Empty Bowls in Wichita: A Unique
Collaboration Within an International Movement
Panel Chair: Michelle Dreiling
Deborah Ballard-Reisch, Wichita State University
Michelle Dreiling, Wichita State University
Micah Fry, Wichita State University
Erik Young, Wichita State University
Stefan Ballard-Reisch, Wichita State University
The Empty Bowls project is “an international grassroots effort to raise both money and
awareness in the fight to end hunger.” Started by imagine/RENDER, a 501(c)3 dedicated to
creating “positive and lasting social change through the arts, education, and projects that build
community,” this project takes on different characteristics in every community that hosts an
event. Wichita State University’s most recent Empty Bowls project started with an unlikely
interdisciplinary collaboration between social science researchers and artists: representatives
spanning multiple campus departments. The diverse perspectives of initiative partners are both a
significant source of strength and the context for misunderstanding. Maximizing the strengths of
diverse perspectives while minimizing misunderstandings are critical to the sustainability of the
initiative. WSU Empty Bowls has provided an opportunity for students to gather experiential
learning opportunities in the areas of event planning, community involvement, media relations,
digital video, research methods, ceramic arts, and arts advocacy.
This project has doubled in size in two years, and has expanded to include international artistic
talent and a much larger scale of community outreach and promotion. Issues experienced by
partner groups will be presented as a template for interdisciplinary collaboration not only for
hunger awareness groups, but any groups interested in beginning interdisciplinary partnerships.
Recommendations include clearly negotiating expectations, sharing ownership, clearly
delineating tasks and responsibilities, maintaining a sense of humor, and valuing partners’ unique
perspectives and contributions. This framework provides insight for organizations to utilize in
reaching their communities and beyond as they stabilize a lasting framework for interdisciplinary
collaboration.

2134 Grateful Dead 9: Roundtable: Deadheads and the Hidden Histories of

Panel Chair: Jesse Jarnow
Nicholas Meriwether, University of California Santa Cruz
“Jesse Jarnow’s Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America” (to be published by Da Capo,
March 2016) connects dozens of underground narratives, weaving together musicians, acid
chemists, Stanford hackers, hip economists, politicos, utopian communards, drug dealers, cult
members, graffiti artists, and more. A reading from the book will act as a starting point for a
roundtable discussion of the challenges facing second generation countercultural historians who
must piece together events from oral histories and partial documentation in a field where
memory is frequently blurry and historical records are often left incomplete due to haphazard
hippie archival skills, the presence of clandestine activity, and/or characters who don’t
necessarily want their stories recorded. Methodologies discussed will include internet
excavation, social media, and building work from connections forged at conferences (such as
SWPACA), concerts, and other places of active culture.

Whitney Cox, University of Houston

Since its publication in 1974, Stephen King’s novel “Carrie” has generated three cinematic
adaptations and a musical. Overshadowing all adaptations—and perhaps even the original—is
Brian DePalma’s 1976 film, which stands out as a classic horror film. With forty years’ worth of
critical hindsight, the roundtable will return to DePalma’s seminal film—a high school reunion,
if you will . . .

Noir
The “neo-burlesque” movement is both a throwback to an earlier era and an entirely new
performance genre, part performance art, part ribald humor, and entirely a parody of popular
culture. Central to burlesque is utilizing striptease as a narrative trope, which ultimately raises
questions about the relationship between neo-burlesque and the rise of “raunch culture” (Levine).
This panel discussion will feature performers from the Southwest Burlesque Showcase
discussing their experiences and knowledge about this art form. The panel will begin with a short
presentation introducing the history and major theoretical and performance preoccupations of the
neo-burlesque movement.

3128 Grateful Dead 14: Roundtable: “More or Less In Line”: Grateful Data
Panel Chair: Scott Carlson
Scott Carlson, Rice University
Data and the Grateful Dead go hand-in-hand: both the band and the modern technology industry
emerged from the Bay Area in the 1960s, and the two frequently tangled with each other. Later,
in the mid-1990s, the internet revolutionized certain aspects of Deadhead culture—concerttrading moved from cassette tapes to MP3s to lossless audio, while setlists went from cassette Jcards and books to interactive databases, where a few simple commands could call up a host of
career-spanning statistics. In this roundtable session, we will explore the relationship between the
Dead and the data industry. First, we will talk with Jesse Jarnow, author of the forthcoming
“Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America,” about the Grateful Dead’s influence on and
relationship with Silicon Valley. We will then chat with Jeremy Berg about the “folksonomies,”
or a user-generated metadata tags, that arose from the digital storage and online trading of
Grateful Dead concerts. Finally, the session will wrap with an introduction to data cleaning. One
of the major components of research is collecting and understanding data; as the Information
Age continues to produce vast amounts of knowledge, the ability to acquire, clean and synthesize
publicly-available data becomes a necessity for researchers of all disciplines. Session participants
will learn how to acquire publicly-available data about the Grateful Dead (from the American
Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and the Etree Music Collection of the Internet
Archive) and then normalize it, using open source applications (such as Open Refine). The
roundtable will be accompanied with detailed notes and instructions available on GitHub.com,
along with sample datasets.

Donna Alden, Doña Ana Community College-New Mexico State University
Jonathan Davis will discuss how he uses assignments based on videos available on demand for
free from www.pbs.org to promote the development of the Higher-Order Cognitive Skills
(HOCS) in a General Biology I course. The lessons help make the lecture classroom more
student-centered and increase opportunities for active learning and collaboration between
students, and they expose students to human cultural and geographical diversity while linking
seemingly unrelated disciplines. Introductory science courses, which must prepare future biology
majors, are typically heavily weighted to Lower-Order Cognitive Skills of remembering,
understanding, and applying. Yet most students who take such courses at the freshman level are
not science majors. Most are non-science majors who need to satisfy the State of New Mexico’s
University General Education Lab Science requirement. Additionally all students in general
courses need to develop HOCS, and they also need to see how learning in one course is related to
learning in other seemingly unrelated courses in the context of the “real world.”

4102 War and Culture 4: Roundtable: American Popular Culture in the Age

Sat, 02/13/2016 - 1:15pm - 2:45pm, Fiesta IV
Panel Chair: Jamie Carr, Niagara University
Deborah Deacon, Harrison Middleton University
Robert Matson, University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown
As the war in Afghanistan is shaping up to be the longest military conflict the U.S. has ever been
involved in, the culture industry seems to have turned away from the explicit engagement with
actual ongoing American wars. While imaginary wars rage on the screen and the pages of
popular fiction—from Middle Earth to outer space—the genre of the war film has languished. As
Iraq and Afghanistan go, American literature has yet to produce fiction on a par with “The
Naked and Dead” or “The Things They Carried.” How are we to read recent cultural responses to
war, given the absence of state-directed war propaganda within U.S. culture? What function does
popular entertainment serve while the nation is at war? And how are we to read what appears to
be the dwindling of cultural interest in war?
4104 Post-Conference Wrap-Up
Sat, 02/13/2016 – 3:00pm – Hotel Atrium (first floor)
If your flights are scheduled for late Saturday or sometime Sunday, please join the Southwest
PCA Executive Team for an informal get-together, wrapping up the conference. We’ll meet over
coffee or adult beverages and cover the highlights of the 37th annual meeting. Come with stories
and suggestions and relax for a bit!
